sven233 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) He didn't have a fumbling problem in college with a heavy workload. The one from last night was a perfect play by Watt where I think most RBs may have coughed it up. And the 2nd one was really close to not being a fumble. I'd have to go back and watch it again, but I remember thinking his knee may have been down before the ball came out anyway. It never actually mattered because the Bills recovered. But whatever..... He's a rookie and will continue to work on things. Not worried about it at all right now. Edited December 16, 2019 by sven233 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) I’m sure they’ll coach him up on fighting for extra yards and securing the football. Pats always go for the strip as well, so it will be a focal point. A quick check of NFL combine numbers for RBs does confirm Singletary’s hands are small for an NFL player. Still, I think it’s more about ball position while carrying than his hands alone. Edited December 16, 2019 by Boatdrinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a penalty if you don’t actually hit the ball but instead just throw a punch at a guy. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckyBoys Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 teams watch film He dances in traffic and does so with one hand on the ball The Watt play was a great play by the defense.

If it wasnt for the ones last night you wouldnt be saying that. One game doesnt indicate a trend or a significant problem. Its just a game. 1 game. Versus 1 of the best D's in the league who make a concerted effort to knock the ball out. If people want to be really concerned by this thats their choice, me personally I see it as it was... just 1 game where the ball came out a couple times. I'm sure Devin & the rest of the staff will put extra emphasis on ball security this week in practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to adjust a bit how he holds the ball. Not used to getting run down from behind or held up and punched at. I don't know if you've noticed but Josh Allen is adjusting and it's helping. Kept the ball in against some vicious punching by Watt. Guy would be arrested for assault out on the street. "Bills Claw" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second fumble he has to recognize players in the nfl will catch him from behind when he is in the second level- as soon as he feels contact he must 2 point the rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregPersons Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 After the Steelers went for the punch/strip on every single rushing attempt, I'd expect to see more mindful carrying and two-handed-carrying in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issue. He stepped up when needed and was huge again I imagine he will probably take time to study his opponents going forward, and if they show a tendency to punch the ball out, he'll try to wrap up better. You could see Pittsburgh focusing on the punching though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
